If someone spend more effort advertising their product than they are developing it, then I would question their product.
However, a lot of people here seems to have negative sentiment against all forms of marketing. Hopefully I'm misinterpretting it.
Four hundred bucks for 8gb of ram, three face plates, the upgraded uber slow processor and 128gb of storage. 3.92” amoled screen.
Four fifty for an ayn Thor with 16gb of ram, 1tb nvme. 6” amoled screen and 3.92” bottom amoled screen.
That’s how I escaped the marketing. Pricing and specs. If your primary use case is just gaming and not a very low power handheld PC, it’s just not good.
A $90 miyoo mini plus 128gb is just fine for small portable handheld emulator too. Sold on Amazon and not a kickstarter fantasy that could take years. I’m sure there’s many other better options.
These things don’t have feature parity. They don’t do all the same things. They are however way better at what they do.
I have thought about the thor or whatever vita looking thing they have but the reality is that I probably wouldn't do a ton of emulation right now. These devices look cool as hell, but I don't need more tech ewaste/paperweights.
I have a deck and hardly use it when I go anywhere because being an adult is a shitload of responsibility and relationship work... and next to no time alone where I can game in peace. lol
If I still had a subway/train commute or I was still a bachelor in my 20s or 30s it would be another story though. Deck is way too big for the subway, but the thor is basically just a 3DS. I used a 3ds/vita/ds for over a decade almost daily because of my commute.
Modular computing always seems to fall victim to Moore's law/similar, everything core get so much better every 5 years, that by the time you want to refresh anything, it's usually time to upgrade the whole thing.
Periferals are nice but USB is already a multivendor connector standard and if the choice is 3d printing cases or trusting a vendor to exist in 10 years I'm betting on 3d printers for now.
Hope I'm wrong but this isn't the first time I've seen a project like this.
At the end of the day the n900 was the ultimate portable Linux machine, but it died because within 10 years you could do all of that on an android device AND have a decent phone too.
You are the exception, not the norm.
Most people are on the bandwagon of buying the shiny new thing with a bigger version number once every year or two (even when the old one still works perfectly).
The mecha comet is one of those devices that get hyped up among the nerds, but after a month 90%of them will either gather dust on a shelf or end up on the second hand market for cheap. You can see the same pattern in many nieche hardware subcultures, linux phones, flipper zero, raspberry pis, various digital music gadgets, AI bs hardware etc.
(I have like 20 random things like that rotting in a box, just to be transparent)
I personally can't say that I agree, especially in current economic conditions.
Many people do buy the shiny new things regularly, but I would argue that most people can't afford that luxury and try to get the most life out of what they own.
On a separate note: I can't speak to Linux phones, digital music gadgets, or AI hardware, but raspberry pis and flipper zeros on the second hand market are absolutely not cheap, and regularly sell for MSRP of new devices.
I'm sorry to hear that you've struggled to find regular use of those 20 random things, but that doesn't mean your experience is representative of most people.
Just missing Bluetooth. But it's really cool! I guess you could plug in USB c headphones. Really like the HDMI port, could have done mini HDMI, but, regular size gives more flexibility.
Edit:
Oop it has Bluetooth, lost my money idk if I can stop myself from buying it

Sold!
It doesn't seem to be especially performant for games based on the videos they've put out, but a solid handheld with these specific features, and separate from my mission critical work android phone will hopefully be very useful.
No. You don't need it.
Just get a used ThinkPad for work, and whichever handheld game console if you want to play while on a trip.
Run Linux on ThinkPad. It's open source too.
I already have a work laptop running Linux, but it doesn't support GPIO or LoRa without additional dongles/accessories. Working on industrial equipment while occasionally in remote locations, makes this device appealing to me specifically.
I'm also fortunate to have my employer willing to foot the bill, especially when they can also see the utility of this device in our line of work.
If you don't work in this specific niche, your mileage will obviously vary.
Great! Go for it then.
I don't know what's LoRa though, but can't you just plug an Arduino board to the computer's USB port and get a bunch of GPIOs? It's cheap. It's durable.
Already done!
LoRa is a low power radio communication protocol that is very useful for warehouse and farming equipment, among many other things. I currently use ESP32s for GPIO, LoRa, and Wifi, and occasionally FPGAs for various tasks. But ad-hoc testing and diagnosis can be a pain for these devices, requiring multiple different dongles, power adapters, and converters.
If I can consolidate 75% of that gear into a single, handheld device, it will easily pay for itself in productivity gains.
LTE and NVME is mutually exclusive on the device I believe.
If all you need is a 3.92” screen, 8GB of ram or less, 128GB of space plus an sd card, and a tiny screen then it’s fine. Kickstarter though means unknown delivery date. I don’t think they’ve sold anything before?
I don't see the point of this.
A smartphone is literally a handheld computer with more capability than this. Save for game controls, there is very little that a touchscreen doesn't completely replace with full flexibility (besides, unless it's the size of a Gameboy, the vertical controller layout sucks).
This isn't a new concept either, as I'm pretty sure I've seen two phones and one whole laptop using this exact drop-in modularity gimmick. They all failed.
Having a dedicated handheld device with the features of a smartphone, running Linux natively (not just android), and also GPIO and LoRa are what make this especially appealing to me. Everything being open source brings this from "I'll probably buy this" to "shut up and take my money" for me personally.
Sure, I could probably get accessories to achieve the same thing with my work phone. But if something catastrophic happens and the phone is damaged, I'm having a very bad day. Damaging a $300-400 device sucks, but I can still call my boss and ask him to order a replacement and receive calls from customers at the end of the day.
Of course these specific benefits are unique to me and my line of work. I also thankfully have a boss who trusts my judgment when purchasing new tools and tech, and a budget that can easily accommodate this kind of investment and risk.

The skeptic in me is a little suspicious, this sounds too good to be true. I've already been burned out from other crowdfunded projects where the company just dissapeared or simply couldn't deliver anything before running out of money. Like the Pandora.
Nowadays I only back projects from companies that have successfully released something before, so this will be a wait and see. If they can deliver I may buy one when it's released.

Epstein files: FBI memo says Israel ‘compromised’ Trump, Epstein had Mossad ties
A declassified FBI memo from the Epstein files, released on Friday, includes incendiary allegations about US President Donald Trump.
The memo says that Trump was “compromised by Israel”, that convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein worked with Israeli intelligence, and that a Jewish religious group calling itself Chabad-Lubavitch sought to hijack his first term in office.
The memo, written in 2020, formed part of an FBI investigation into domestic or foreign influence over the US electoral process. It draws on information from a confidential human source (CHS) and appears among a vast trove of Epstein-related files released by the US Justice Department.
Chabad-Lubavitch, a religious Jewish sect founded in Russia, has grown to an estimated 90,000 members. Its messianic, ultra-Orthodox ideology has repeatedly been linked to hardline settler colonial politics in Palestine.
The memo also cites Berel Lazar, a Chabad member and the former chief rabbi of Russia, describing him as a close adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Chabad is basically state-sanctioned Judaism. It is used by Putin to keep tabs on all the Russo-Jewish oligarchs,” the FBI memo adds.
The source goes further, saying: “Trump has been compromised by Israel. And Kushner is the real brains behind his organization and his Presidency.”

I mean you can't just ignore the insanely massive Israel lobby in the US and say it's only Epstein. Any US politician that doesn't swear fealty to Israel has a bajillion dollars of smear campaign thrown against them, and the entire mainstream media.
Basically anyone who sells out to Israel is rewarded and anyone who doesn't is expunged.

Are we supposed to believe the Trump admin supports Israel because of Epstein? And Putin??
What about believing all ends are playing each other against the middle for strategic location dominance, money and power?
Then this revelation is kind of boring, which is why I think it's misleading. There are many more effective ways to influence US policy than blackmailing presidents, which last like 4 years each. And given Trump backed down on his promise to end the Ukraine war, and US support for Israel hasn't changed at all since even the Obama days, I don't see what either country would've got out of it.
On the other hand, here we are discussing whether Trump is receiving foreign influence or not, instead of how the bourgeoisie knows no borders and has no limits to their depravity. If it were a distraction, I think it was successful.

I mean one is a documented fact, and the other is a conspiracy theory democrats were spreading that's now widely known to be a hoax?
Also, people really need to get their conspiracy theories on who is controlling Putin straight. Is it Dugin, is it some weird Jewish sect that's virtually unknown in Russia, is it the aliens?

It's mentioned that Putin has pictures of Trump blowing Bubba as well. It might be a give and take relation. Russia helps Israel in exchange for influence by groups like this over the US. It would explain some weird moves by Trump such as threatening to invade Greenland and blowing up NATO. But connecting all the dots is always easy in hindsight when all the facts are availible. It's all still too vague right now.
is it some weird Jewish sect that’s virtually unknown in Russia
Apparently they have 90.000 members which is a significant size. And Epstein was very much a Jewish surpremacist according to recently released leaks, showing he believed Goyim were subhuman

90k members in a country of 143 million people is not a significant size. There's also no actual evidence of Russia working with Israel. In fact, Russia's main ally in the region is Iran which is a mortal enemy of Israel. You don't need insane conspiracy theories to explain why Trump wants Greenland and why the US is pulling out of NATO. There are obvious explanations for both.
Trump taking over Greenland would instantly put him in history books, and anything else he does will be irrelevant. This is the one thing he'll be remembered for. Being incredibly vain, this is an obvious move for him to try and secure his spot in history.
Meanwhile, NATO ceased having any relevance for the US after it became clear that NATO lost the war in Ukraine. The original plan was to put massive sanctions on Russia, have Ukraine hold out for a while, and try to crash Russian economy to effect regime change. Then, the west would partition Russia, put in puppet regimes, extract resources, and surround China from the west. This was literally the plan that was spelled out in a paper by RAND. Of course, it didn't turn out like that, which is incidentally is one of the risks RAND listed. Russia managed to successfully reorient its economy towards the Global South and to kick start domestic industries. Now, Russia is outproducing all of NATO militarily, and it's clear that Russia will win the war.
So, Europe has no value for the US at this point because NATO cannot defeat Russia. The US doesn't see Russia as a threat to itself, it's no longer ideological opposition the way USSR was. The real threat from the US perspective is China because it's an alternative system that's now proving itself to be superior. The US is cutting its losses in Europe, so it can retrench and prepare for a confrontation with China that it is planning.
This is also basically spelled out in the 2026 National Defense Strategy that was just published dialecticaldispatches.substack…
The 2026 U.S. Defense Strategy Is a Blueprint for Imperial Retrenchment and Class War

Putin actually didn't help Iran much in exchange for Israel not sending weapons to Ukraine. Putin let Syria fall with ease instead of fighting for it. And there's many other examples like Russia voting for the UNSC resolution to rubber stamp the Gaza genocide.
90K people openly working together as a terrorist organization is a very significant size. Especially when you see the amount of wealth they posess. They even planned to loot seized Libyan assetts before Gadaffi fell
RAND employs Zionists from Tel Aviv for their Israel policy, they only have similar chairs for Russia and China but somehow Israel (not Taiwan) is super duper important. And RAND has big Zionist donors.
For some reason leftists have written off the explanation that a bunch of rich Zionists have massive influence over the US government, or like Netanyahu said "the US is a very easy thing to move in the right direction". And they want to explain everything away with an amazing "realpolitik". Yet the more info comes out, the more every single line points to Zionists having huge influence over US government policy.
As your blog stated the US will let Taiwan fall with ease. Will it do the same for Israel? We both know the answer.
It requires ignoring of all the facts relating to Epstein being a massive Ideological Jewish surpremacist to switch the explanation to "realpolitik" But there is no "realpolitik" answer. The US is flailing around destroying its own empire to fulfill Israel's interests right now.

You must know something nobody outside Russia and Iran knows.

I would love for you to explain how you expected Russia to prevent the fall of Syria.
90K people openly working together as a terrorist organization is a very significant size. Especially when you see the amount of wealth they posess.
And what evidence is there of this organization achieving anything?
I don't think anybody is arguing that Zionists have influence over the US here. In fact, that was my original point. What I'm pointing out here is that the connections you're making between Russia and Israel have no actual basis in reality. And latest Epstein drop clearly shows that Israel wanted to see regime change in Russia:
You must know something nobody outside Russia and Iran knows.
To placate Russia, Israel told Baltic states it would block weapon transfers to Ukraine: Sources

Kind of the same thing but more in-depth about Russia:
Again, all this shows is that Israelis know that Russia can retaliate against them. This is not evidence of some conspiracy between Israel and Russia.
You know, that whole Jepstein story where they blackmail the elite of the world…
So literally just going to ignore the fact that Israel was seeking regime change in Russia because it doesn't fit with your conspiracy theories?
Not sure what you think that proves to be honest.
.... Because Israel literally imposed a ban on their weapons being sent to Ukraine at the start of the war?
Sure seems strange that the weapons manufacterer all of Europa and NA relies on for their Apartheid genocide weapons suddenly decides to ban their weapons being sent to Russia for moral reasons.
So literally just going to ignore the fact that Israel was seeking regime change in Russia because it doesn’t fit with your conspiracy theories?
Israel seeks regime change everywhere because the leader doesn't lick the heels of Israel hard enough. Unlike the USA, which gives Israel everything for free, Putin makes deals with Israel. A meeting with an exiled Russian billionaire sounds more like an opportunity to extract cash than anything else.
Also there's a lot of Epstein files out there to still be calling them it a "conspiracy".
In fact, Russia’s main ally in the region is Iran which is a mortal enemy of Israel.
Some days Putin and Netanyahu are frenemies, other days Putin and Netanyahu are frenemies. Business is business as they say.

One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did
Ce matin, le ministre de l’Intérieur, ex Préfet de Police de Paris, Laurent Nuñez, a annoncé avoir demandé au Préfet du Haut Rhin de « saisir la justice pour déterminer les responsabilités des protagonistes », dans une affaire de très haute importance qui mérite de mobiliser un ministre, un préfet, des enquêteurs, un procureur, et potentiellement un tribunal judiciaire en guise d’apothéose.
Cette affaire quasi terroriste est en réalité non pas de très haute importance, mais de très haute stupidité : des jeunes étudiants de la Haute Ecole des Arts du Rhin ont créé un évènement (dont on ignore totalement le contexte), au cours duquel ils ont détruit une voiture de police en carton à coups de bâton, sous les rires et les encouragements des étudiants spectateurs.
Le ministre Nunez précise « Commis par des étudiants dans une école publique, ces faits sont d’autant plus choquants. Il ne faut pas laisser passer cette idéologie anti flics. »
Il faut donc comprendre que des faits de nature « idéologique » commis dans une école publique seraient plus graves que s’ils étaient commis au Lycée Stanislas (lol). Le financement par l’argent public serait ainsi une composante de l’indignation nationale, comme si les élèves du public devaient afficher une particulière obéissance idéologique, en contrepartie de leur appropriation de nos impôts, notre sueur, notre sang.
Précision inquiétante, qui décrédibilise à elle seule la mise en scène de l’outrance ministérielle. (Au passage, message aux écoles privés qui vivent toutes des financements publics : rendez l’argent !)
Mais revenons à la pinata de la discorde.
1/ Personnellement, n’étant pas informée du contexte et du sens de la chose, j’ai tendance à trouver l’idée idiote. De même que je comprends que les syndicats de police s’en émeuvent. Si on m’apprenait qu’on a trouvé comique de taper avec une batte de baseball sur une sculpture d’avocat en pâte à sel, je serais chonchon renfrognée. Là n’est pas la question.
Mais le Ministre ?!
Il peut déplorer s’il le veut, mais par pitié, qu’il laisse la justice, les étudiants, et cette école tranquilles.
Où est l’infraction ? Quelle est la qualification juridique des faits ? Doit-on désormais, quand on est élu politique ou représentant de l’Etat, réagir systématiquement dans le registre émotionnel, ou dans le registre de la communication et se comporter comme une lessive en campagne publicitaire ?
A-t-on encore le droit en France d’avoir des idéologies, anti viande, anti droite, anti gauche, anti-avocats, anti flics, antifa, anti tout, de les mettre en chansons, en symboles en carton, en pinata, en ce qu’on veut, y compris en sculptures de mauvais goût, dès lors qu’on ne commet aucune violence sur des individus ni même sur le bien d’autrui ? Ce n’est pas interdit que je sache.
Quelqu’un, chez les adultes, se souvient-il encore des carnavals où l’on brûle le roi et la reine, et du caractère hautement utile de la transgression symbolique qui permet d’exprimer la colère, et évite le désagrément d’avoir à tuer pour de bon des flics ou des rois tous les ans.
Autrement dit, de quel droit interdirait-on l’idéologie à ces étudiants ?
Que l’on soit étudiant ou ministre, jeune ou vieux, intelligent ou chroniqueur sur CNews, nous avons tous le droit d’avoir des positions idéologiques.
On a aussi le droit le plus absolu de ne pas aimer les flics, c’est vieux comme Mathusalem, ce n’est pas près de s’arrêter et heureusement, c’est une composante du rapport à l’autorité.
En revanche, la seule idéologie qui devrait être farouchement combattue, car celle-ci est interdite, c’est l’idéologie qui s’infiltre dans les institutions de l’Etat.
Les individus peuvent avoir des idéologies, pas les institutions publiques.
Raison pour laquelle un ministre de l’Intérieur devrait traiter comme des problèmes de très haute importance les études qui montrent que la Police est noyautée par l’extrême droite, ou que les contrôles au faciès sont plus que jamais pratiqués, ou encore que des collectifs de policiers montent des groupes whatsapp pour diffuser des propos racistes et inciter à la haine raciale au sein du cercle professionnel.
Ça, ce sont des idéologies illégales, qui imposent de saisir la justice « pour déterminer les responsabilités de chacun des protagonistes ».
2/ Mais surtout, on aimerait tellement que le Ministre soit choqué au point de se poser les questions qui s’imposent comme un éléphant au milieu de la figure :
Pourquoi les étudiants d’une école d’art ont-ils eu cette idée ? Pourquoi des pans entiers de la population ont-ils envie d’applaudir ? Pourquoi les gens détestent ils la police à ce point de quasi non-retour ?
Pas un de vous, Messieurs les ministres de l’Intérieur qui vous succédez sur le poste, n’abordez la seule question qui vaille : Pourquoi ?
Pourquoi par exemple une personne comme moi, parfaitement insérée, blanche, mûre (j’ai pas dit vieille !), non délinquante, sans problème apparent, a-t-elle un réflexe automatique et irrépressible de peur quand elle croise des policiers dans la rue ?
C’est tout de même un sérieux problème qui mérite d’y réfléchir.
Mais ne nous emballons pas.
L’humeur du moment n’est pas à se poser des questions.
Le Ministre veut des coupables de lèse-police par usage de pinata, tandis que de nombreux élus défilent aujourd’hui même avec les policiers en manif contre le laxisme de la justice. Cette même semaine, d’autres élus ont imaginé de promouvoir une proposition de loi de présomption de légitime défense au profit de la police. C’est beau tous ces élus qui participent collectivement à une nouvelle idéologie à la mode : dégommer l’état de droit et la séparation des pouvoirs.
Comme si nous n’avions pas sous les yeux, pile poil en ce moment, des exemples glaçants de dérives de polices en roue libre dans le monde ?
3/ Enfin, ce sera le dernier constat que je tire de cette affaire ridicule, j’observe qu’on s’en prend encore aux étudiants, et sur un plan général aux jeunes.
Vous n’en avez pas marre, les adultes, de les emmerder à longueur de temps.
Ils sont par nature redevables, ils doivent toujours quelque chose à leurs aînés, à la nation, à tout le monde. Ils sont disqualifiés en permanence : nuls, ignorants, paresseux, ingrats, abrutis par les écrans. On les veut intelligents mais attention, il ne faut pas qu’ils pensent, ils seraient fichus de devenir fous furieux et de taper sur des voitures de police en carton dites donc.
On les fout en garde à vue quand ils manifestent, on leur pourrit le parcours scolaire et universitaire faute de moyens, on passe notre temps à leur parler de la retraite qu’ils n’auront pas, du monde en déclin dont ils subiront la fin, de la guerre qu’on leur promet un jour ou l’autre.
Puis on déplore qu’ils ne veuillent plus faire d’enfants (des enfants non bruyants bien-sûr) pour faire tenir encore un peu plus longtemps le système en place. On vous l’avait dit, ce sont des ingrats !
Eh bien … FUCK, a-t-on furieusement envie de dire avec eux, à coups de bâtons dans une pinata.

Imperial Oil says it will shutter Norman Wells oil operations this summer
Imperial Oil says it will end more than a century of oil production in Norman Wells later this year.
The closure has been in the works since 2022, but until now, there has been no solid timeline for the shutdown.
In a news release Friday, the company said the move is needed because of declining production at the site.
It said production is slated to end in the third quarter of 2026 "as the facility comes to the end of its lifespan."
Imperial Oil said it's working on a final closure and reclamation plan for the site. Reclamation work is not expected to start until after 2030.

Outgoing consumer advocate sideswipes PCs over their 'nonsense' handling of Churchill Falls MOU
Dennis Browne has been replaced as consumer advocate, but the usually soft-spoken and tactful St. John's lawyer is not going away quietly.
Browne was a guest on CBC Radio's The Signal on Thursday, and was heavily critical of Premier Tony Wakeham and the new PC government's handling of the Churchill Falls MOU, which was announced in late 2024 by a former Liberal government led by Andrew Furey.
Browne said Wakeham and his team have turned the issue into a "political football," are risking a deal between Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec that has the potential to stabilize the province's finances, and described those appointed to review the MOU, specifically the chair, as "not much of a panel."
He also blasted the government for appointing lawyer Adrienne Ding, who has links to the PC Party, as the interim consumer advocate. Browne said his successor should have been selected by the Independent Appointments Commission, which was established by legislation a decade ago by another former Liberal premier, Dwight Ball.
Former Codiac Regional RCMP officer faces 7 more sex charges involving youths
A former New Brunswick RCMP officer is facing seven more sex-related criminal charges involving youths, an independent police watchdog agency announced Friday.
Former corporal Jeremy Bastarache, 38, from Shediac River, was charged in 2024 with communicating for a sexual purpose with someone he believed was under 16.
He is now accused of two more counts of that offence, making an arrangement with a person, for the purpose of facilitating a sexual offence towards a person. One count involves someone he believed to be under 16 and another he believed was under 18, according to the Serious Incident Response Team.
The other five charges include communicating for obtaining sexual services for consideration from a person under 18 years, procuring a person under 18 for the purpose of facilitating an offence, trafficking a person under 18, as well as making and possessing child pornography.

Proposed tundra swan hunting season on Prairies prompts concern from hunter
The federal government is considering a proposal to establish a new hunting season for tundra swans in the Prairie provinces — a move that one hunter says could endanger trumpeter swans, a similar-looking, sensitive species.
Proposed changes to Canada's migratory bird regulations would create a new tundra swan hunting season in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Tundra swans are hunted in a handful of U.S. states, but in Canada they're currently a protected species at the federal level.
David Duncan, a hunter and retired biologist, says such a hunt could lead to people mistakenly shooting trumpeter swans, a sensitive species that can't be hunted anywhere in North America.
I think the only way you'd figure it out would be field ambush hunting where you can get a good look at a flock as they come down in a pea field or something. It doesn't sound like they migrate together and their flyways might be fairly predictable for targeting hunting areas.
But other than size which is hard to judge on the wing, I wouldn't take a shot based on that.
I know a lot of people are instinctively against hunting, but with massive food availability on harvested fields in wintering areas with no predators, these species can grow out of control very quickly. Snow geese are devastating arctic areas that are very slow to rebound because of the sheer numbers and lack of hunters. I had heard about this sort of concern with mixing up swans with snow geese, though that's a lot easier to identify on the wing so I don't think there's been much bykill from that.

How are you making the stickers? It looks like each sticker is composite of multiple snippets of art?

I do love an old scool craft project.

I did originally consider national parks or cities. I came up with it on vacation and saw some cities have their own distinctive stickers. The problem I ran into was details are hard to resolve with the art style I'm using. Words are even worse. I did a series with US states before this. I might have to revisit this when I'm tired of hex FOSS.

Selects hexagon at random
THAT? You have THAT crap on your wall? Gross!
(More seriously, this is awesome and I appreciate the creativity. Hexagons are the bestagons.)
